- Udinese have not managed a home win against Juventus in their recent clashes.
- Juventus FC have won six of their 14 away fixtures in Serie A (D3, L5) this season, scoring 21 goals (1.50).
- Udinese have won five of their 14 home fixtures in Serie A this campaign (D4, L5), scoring 16 goals (1.14).
Top and tail teams prepare for a head-to-head battle
Juventus FC will be looking to extend their recent dominance over Udinese Calcio when they travel to the Dacia Arena to take on the Zebrette in Serie A on Saturday.
Juventus sit 6th in the table on 50 points from 28 games, while Udinese are 11th with 36 points from the same number of matches. But there’s a clear gap between the two clubs, even if the Zebrette can be a difficult prospect for Juve to master.
Luciano Spalletti took over as Juventus coach in October 2025 and has instilled his structured high-tempo possession-based style to the side, while Kosta Runjaic - in charge since June 2024 - has built a defensive, direct and pragmatic team.
The contrast in styles makes for an intriguing matchup, with the pace and central overloads of Juventus set to take on the width of a three-at-the-back system that looks to remain compact and exploit the wing-backs on the counter. It could be a fascinating battle of phases, with Udinese more than capable of holding up Juventus when they have the ball and hurting them on the transition.
Runjaic’s Zebrette will be difficult to beat
The hosts have recorded one win, one draw and three losses from their last five matches, a run that includes a 3-0 home win over Fiorentina and a 2-2 away draw against Atalanta.
Keinan Davis leads their line with nine goals in 24 Serie A matches, providing a constant focal point for Udinese to play through. Juventus have been a little more up and down of late, recording one win, two draws and two losses in their last five, but the 3-3 away draw at Roma and 4-0 home win over Pisa suggests they can find their rhythm when it counts.
Kenan Yildiz leads Juve’s scoring charts with nine in 27 Serie A appearances, but he has a knack of scoring when it matters - as he did against Udinese in the Coppa Italia three months ago when Juve won 2-0.
Both teams to strike in Juve win
Juve will see this game as more important than Udinese, who can trouble them as a mid-table team, but we’re backing Spalletti’s men to extend their dominance of the head-to-head and take the full points away from Udinese on Saturday.
The odds of 1.6 for an away win are too short for us, so we’ll take Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.98 for a game in which Juve’s attacking structure should always pose a threat, while Udinese are capable of causing problems on set pieces.
